GDSCs cannot be transitioned into a Retention state in SW.
When either the RETAIN_MEM bit, or both the RETAIN_MEM and
RETAIN_PERIPH bits are set, and the GDSC is left ON, the HW
takes care of retaining the memory/logic for the domain when
the parent domain transitions to power collapse/power off state.
On some platforms where the parent domains lowest power state
itself is Retention, just leaving the GDSC in ON (without any
RETAIN_MEM/RETAIN_PERIPH bits being set) will also transition
it to Retention.
The existing logic handling the PWRSTS_RET seems to set the
RETAIN_MEM/RETAIN_PERIPH bits if the cxcs offsets are specified
but then explicitly turns the GDSC OFF as part of _gdsc_disable().
Fix that by leaving the GDSC in ON state.

Updated changelog
There are a few existing users of PWRSTS_RET and I am not
sure if they would be impacted with this change
1. mdss_gdsc in mmcc-msm8974.c, I am expecting that the
gdsc is actually transitioning to OFF and might be left
ON as part of this change, atleast till we hit system wide
low power state.
If we really leak more power because of this
change, the right thing to do would be to update .pwrsts for
mdss_gdsc to PWRSTS_OFF_ON instead of PWRSTS_RET_ON
I dont have a msm8974 hardware, so if anyone who has can report
any issues I can take a look further on how to fix it.
I think that the safest option is to add a PWRSTS_RET_HW_CTRL flag (or similar),
used for the specific cases of SC7180 and SC7280 (and possibly others) where the
GDSC is automatically transitioned to a Retention state by HW control, with no
required software (kernel driver) intervention.
2. gpu_gx_gdsc in gpucc-msm8998.c and
gpu_gx_gdsc in gpucc-sdm660.c
Both of these seem to add support for 3 power state
OFF, RET and ON, however I dont see any logic in gdsc
driver to handle 3 different power states.
So I am expecting that these are infact just transitioning
between ON and OFF and RET state is never really used.
The ideal fix for them would be to just update their resp.
.pwrsts to PWRSTS_OFF_ON only.
static int gdsc_init(struct gdsc *sc)
{
...
if (on || (sc->pwrsts & PWRSTS_RET))
gdsc_force_mem_on(sc);
else
gdsc_clear_mem_on(sc);
...
}
On MSM8998 and SDM630/636/660, we're reaching that point with a GDSC that is
left OFF from the bootloader, but we want (at least for 630/660) memretain
without periph-retain: this is required to make the hypervisor happy.
Forgive me Angelo, but can you please help me understand your concern
here?
Are yous saying that the valid states for 8998/660 are PWRSTS_OFF_ON,
but you also want gdsc_force_mem_on() - with NO_RET_PERIPH?
It seems to me that as Rajendra's patch is written, the gpu_gx_gdsc
won't be affected, because pwrsts != PWRSTS_RET. So this is a question
about the validity of fixing the pwrsts in gpucc-msm8998, rather than
about this patch in itself?
Hello Bjorn,
my replies were related to this part of the commit description:
The ideal fix for them would be to just update their resp.
.pwrsts to PWRSTS_OFF_ON only.
By updating MSM8998 and SDM660's gpu_gx_gdsc to remove PWRSTS_RET, the gdsc_init()
flow will change, as in the aforementioned branch, `on` will be false, hence,
we will clear RETAIN_MEM during the gpu_gx_gdsc initialization, producing side
effects.
I agree on the fact that PWRSTS_RET was *not* handled correctly before this commit
and this alone will not produce any side effects on MSM8998, nor SDM660.
So yes, this is a discussion about the validity of fixing the pwrsts in
gpucc-msm8998 and in gpucc-sdm660.c.
Okay, now I understand the context, I will move ahead and merge these
patches then.
And for 8998/660 you're saying that the GDSC is found to be OFF at boot
and in runtime you're going to bounce it between on and off in software,
but you need RETAIN_MEM set?
Correct.
If that's the case this GDSC can be in all 3 states. But as you can
find in the discussions that lead up to this discussion, we don't have a
way to represent this to the clients (today).
Yes I know and agree.
Regards,
Angelo
